We hope this small daily habit will yield a certain result at some point down the road. I hope this career change will be the move I need to get my life on the right track. I hope to find the person of my dreams who will make the rest of our life together amazing and wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it isn\u2019t wrong or foolish to have such hopes, placing the full weight of my life\u00a0expectations on them is. There are so many factors beyond my control that can determine the final outcome of such hopes. Some may play out as I had hoped, but many will not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But hope anchored in the Lord and in his assurance that he is able to work good out of any situation in my life will never disappoint. That kind of hope is a sure thing, because the Lord\u2019s promises are a sure thing. Hope in the Lord renews my strength, provides patience, and frees me from the deception of being in control. Hope in the Lord leaves me at peace knowing that I don\u2019t have to bear the unnecessary burden of pretending to be God, because he is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jesus\u2019 name I pray.
